Capt. Elad Siman-Tov z'l - Featuring Rabbi Yaakov Sadigh - Head of School, Hillel Yeshiva High School Deal, NJ

"With courage and humility, the power

in being quiet, say little and do much."

Elad, son of Esther and Ze’ev, twin brother to Ayala, brother to Adir, Avia, Tzruya, and Eliya Moshe. He grew up in Tzofim, Samaria, and studied at Bnei Akiva Yeshiva in Ra’anana. He served as a team commander in the Golani Reconnaissance Unit, excelling in professionalism. He was known for his humility, helping the weak, and seeing the good in everyone. He led a battle in the village of Aita al-Shaab in Lebanon, was severely wounded, and died in Rambam Hospital during Sukkot. He was 23 years old when he fell.

In this video, a tribute is paid to Captain Elad Siman-Tov, highlighting the themes of humility and courage. Rabbi Yaakov Sadigh reflects on the balance between ambition and modesty, using insights from Rashi. A poignant story illustrates the selflessness of soldiers, emphasizing their desire to serve their country despite personal sacrifices. The message is a call to pursue greatness with humility, as Rabbi Sadigh offers a heartfelt wish for the protection and elevation of all who serve.
